Ed4Career is proud to announce that it has been recognized as an Accredited Provider of continuing education by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). In reaching this high-level accreditation, Ed4Career is proving that they meet the demands of the ANSI/IACET Standard for quality continuing education and training.
What does the Standard measure?
The ANSI/IACET Standard measures all aspects of a continuing education and training provider’s program development across ten nationally recognized categories:
- Continuing Education and Training Organization
- Responsibility and Control
- Learning Environment and Support Systems
- Learning Event Planning
- Learning Outcomes
- Planning and Instructional Personnel
- Content and Instructional Methods
- Assessment of Learning Outcomes
- Awarding CEUs and Maintaining Learner Records
- Program Evaluation
What does it mean to be IACET Certified?
The ANSI/IACET Standard reflects an international standard of excellence in providing quality education and training instruction, utilized by thousands of education and instruction programs worldwide. The standard reflects rigid and continuously evolving benchmarks for excellence set down by both the American Standards Institute (ANSI) and IACET.
With IACET accreditation, Ed4Career joins the exclusive ranks of elite continuing education providers in being able to offer its students Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for the completion of courses. Created by IACET as a standard for measuring proficiency in continuing education models, a single CEU is recognized as 10 contact hours of organized continuing education—completed through courses offered by Accredited Providers.
“Being able to back up the superior structure of our online courses with tangible CEU credits is something we’re extremely proud of and an accomplishment that will resonate with our students, as well as our partner institutions,” said Dr. Tricia Seymour, Chief Operating Officer at Ed4Career. “To be recognized as an Accredited Provider is something we’ve been striving for and to finally reach this goal means seeing our penchant for quality realized in a way that we can directly communicate to our partners and students.”
In receiving accreditation through IACET, Ed4Career will now be able to pass on the many benefits to its partner institutions, to give its affiliates the confidence in knowing that Ed4Career meets the industry standards for quality. The IACET Accredited Provider process is rigorous and exclusive, marking a superior standard for compliant continuing education providers.
